--

So when looking at this whole draft class, I'm trying to wrap my head around where we may get talent in the FA and what value is going to be available in the mid-20s. 

 

 

I'm being patient with any mocks this year (may wait a while longer) but was curious about who a realistic BPA (w/needs in mind) could be for us in the first.  Now I understand we've found strong secondary talent in later rounds but looking at these top-5 or so guys in each respective S, WR, OL, DL, and CB classes, Collins keeps jumping out to me. 

 

I'm not a huge fan of many of these mid-shelf CBs in the FA this year (maybe Kareem Jackson) and the back of the drafts has a lot of slow slot or Tampa 2 types.  This Collins guy fits the measurables of a starting NFL CB and seems to have all the ability necessary to be effective day 1.  He seems to fit with our scheme as well. 

 

Now if an almost given prospect drops to us, you take him but when just assessing our needs and thinking who really has the value, Collins stands out to me

 

Whatsayyou?

mixed reviews on Jalen:

National Football Post Dion Caputi @ nfldraftupdate 6h

LSU CB Jalen Collins had a great day... unofficially ran a 4.48 & then a 4.43. Very nice times; with his size, length, and upside, someone will fall in love.

MockingTheDraft.com Dan Kadar @ MockingTheDraft 12h

Jalen Collins runs 4.48. That’s a big number for him. 1st

round talent.

NFL.com Bucky Brooks @ BuckyBrooks 10h

"Cha-Ching!!!" Jalen Collins and Ron Darby are making

money with their performances today.

NFL.com Daniel Jeremiah @MoveTheSticks 10h

Jalen Collins is making a lot of $ today.

draftTV.com Shane P. Hallam @ ShanePHallam 10h

LSU's Jalen Collins looks so impressive in shorts. Makes you

want to fall in love. Huge and fluid. Wish it translated to

consistency

South Florida Sun-Sentinel Omar Kelly @ OmarKelly 5h

Watching the DB position drills and Jalen Collins ' hips are

tight. Saw it in his film & the combine confirms it. Not a good

look.

CBS Sports Dane Brugler @ dpbrugler 9h

#LSU CB Jalen Collins has a lot of size/athletic tools, but

he's a project. Instincts, awareness, technique, discipline - all

very, very raw

Scout with GM Jr Scouting Josh Liskiewitz @JoshLiskiewitz 8h

@dpbrugler you nailed all of Collins' areas of concern - instincts especially scary, hard to fix.

thefootballeducator.com R0n Plckett @ CoachRonScouts 7h

The CB Id like to draft is Kevin Johnson. Jalen Collins could

be good but needs some develop & I question his instincts at

times

profootballcentral.com Austin John @ Phinfanalyst Feb 18

I'm not that high on LSU CB, Jalen Collins . Yeah okay he has

size- but sloppy feet and stiff hips. Those traits don't often

translate.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
